There are huge expectations slung from debutant filmmaker Gauri Shinde's directorial film 'English Vinglish' starring Bollywood beauty Sridevi in the lead.

The film marks her comeback to acting after a 15 year long hiatus and hence it becomes a lot more special for her admirers.The film also marks the comeback of Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi onscreen after 20 long years. They were last seen acting together in 'Khuda Gawah' (1992).

Big B, who has done a cameo in the film recently saw the complete flick at a special screening that was organized, and after the screening he confessed that he was left with a heavy heart and moist eyes.

"A viewing of 'English Vinglish' directed by Gauri Shinde, wife of R Balki tonight, leaves me with collective lumps in the throat and a surge of flushed eyes near the tear ducts. And it is not all the emotion of a particular moment that puts one in such state. It is the uncontrollable effect of appreciation that prevents one from expressing any at all," wrote Bachchan on his blog.

He further added that it is the simplicity of the story that makes it more special for him, "In our simplicity lies the true story of a lifetime. Massive explosions and devastating action sequences make you wonder in high adrenalin awe. But equally, the ordinariness of everyday life, strikes many strings that work together in sympathetic chords. Many do it with the ease of a breath taken deeply and exhaled with silent confidence. For me that was the moment in Gauri's film tonight. It said so much in so little!!" he added in praise of the film which is about a Indian Housewife, played by Sridevi, who strives hard to prove her family that her value is beyond her knowledge of English.

The film hits theatres on October 5.
